Activate Your New Elan Credit Card at myaccountaccess.com/activate

So you just received a shiny new credit card from Elan Financial Services? Congrats! 🥳 Before you can start swiping though, you need to activate it online first.

Activating your card is super simple and only takes a few minutes. In this handy guide, I’ll walk you through the fast and easy process.

Why Do You Need to Activate a New Credit Card?

Activating a new credit card is an important security step. It verifies your identity and confirms that you—the legitimate cardholder—are the one trying to use the card.

This prevents fraudsters from using your new account before you even have a chance!

What You’ll Need to Activate Your Elan Card

To activate your Elan card online, you’ll need:

  • Card Number – This 16-digit number is printed on the front of your card
  • Last 4 Digits of Your SSN – This helps verify your identity
  • 3-Digit Security Code – This CVV code is printed on the back of your card

Optional but helpful:

  • Account Login Credentials – If you already have online account access

Fast Way: Activate on myaccountaccess.com

The quickest way to activate your Elan credit card is directly on Elan’s website.

Here’s how:

  1. Go to myaccountaccess.com/activate
  2. Enter your Card Number, Last 4 SSN digits, and 3-digit security code
  3. Click “Activate”
  4. Follow the prompts to complete activation

And that’s it! Your new credit card is now active and ready for purchases.

Tip: You can also call the number on the back of your card to activate over the phone. But the online process is simpler in my opinion!

Alternative: Activate via Online Account Access

If you already have online account access with Elan, you can also activate your new card through there.

Here are the steps:

  1. Go to the Online Access login page
  2. Enter your Personal ID and click Continue
  3. Enter your password and click Sign In
  4. Go to the Services tab and select Card Activation
  5. Enter your card details and follow the instructions to activate

Easy peasy!

Why Create an Online Account?

Activating your card is quick and simple on its own. But having full online account access makes managing your Elan card a breeze too.

Here are a few benefits:

  • Pay your bill online – Setup autopay or make one-time payments
  • Check statements & transactions – Monitor your spending closely
  • Update personal info – Keep addresses, phone numbers, etc accurate
  • Activate card alerts – Get notified of suspicious activity

To sign up for online access:

  1. Go to myaccountaccess.com
  2. Enter card number, security code, and last 4 SSN digits
  3. Verify your identity
  4. Create a Personal ID and password
  5. Provide email (optional) and submit

Giving yourself full digital account access allows you to get the most out of your Elan card. It’s the best way to stay on top of payments, activity, benefits, and more!
